I think you need to slow down a touch. Read answers and if you don't understand them, ask more in the thread where the answer was.

Now, you say you have created a blog. I think what you have probably done is created a story and put in the html code you want. That is not creating a blog. That is making an html page. No problem with that but when you say you have created a blog most people think you have made something out of wordpress or on one of the blog sites.

If I have this right then we move on. If not, then tell me what I have wrong on it pls.

Now, (assuming the above is right), you state that you cannot understand the wordpress layout and you reference 3 blog sites. I assume they are using wordpress?

Wordpress is a blogging platform that will allow you to put posts onto a blog. It's appearance is controlled through the use of a "theme", a collection of styles and templates that control the look of the blog. So to control the look you have to use wordpress coded themes. That does not mean that you can't have custom html in your blog posts but it does mean that the header and footer of the blog comes from the wordpress theme not from the post.

When you are posting a blog post in wordpress, all you include is the content of the blog post, not the entire appearance of the page. Does that make sense yet?

I went to look at the 3 sites you mentioned. I cannot find thublogger. It is NOT thublogger.com from what I see that goes redirects to a page at monster.com. Smutties.com states that they are not taking new registrations so I can't look at their setup.

I wenet to sensualwriter.com and set up an account. Once I activated it and got the login link I went and logged in. One of the first links I see is "write a post", so I clicked that and it took me to an editor. I entered a title for the post and then put something in the body and hit the "publish" button and it published the post at http://sarettah.sensualwriter.com/20...s-a-test-post/

Now, that is inside of the default wordpress theme. Looks like this:



So, I have created a blog now. Does it look like I want? no, butit is ablog.

If I want to change what the blog theme looks like then I go to the dashboard and there in the dashboard is a link that says "Change your site?s look or theme". That is where I go to change up what the blog itself looks like.

Are you with me so far?
Sholly meant thumblogger.com. I think it uses blogs organizer though, and not wordpress.
